The project eventually aims to power 375 homes with 10 wave-harnessing buoys with tentative plans for a much larger installment

They spent about $75,000,000 so far, from what little I saw in the article.

That is about $200,000 per house for ecectricity. Typical Green Energy savings. Once they actually start producing electricity.

It’s more a case of ‘if’ they actually start producing electricity rather than ‘once’ they do. Given the number of technological roadblocks they face, and especially the regulatory ones, this effort, I’d say, is a crap-shoot at best.

They could have built a coal powered plant for that and powered a million homes.

$75,000,000? Sounds like the kind of bargain that would quickly bankrupt anyone.
